Welcome to our holiday villas in Lanzarote, Canary Islands, blessed with an ideal year-round climate.

Lanzarote is an island with almost perpetual sunshine, particularly in the south, because of the warming influence of the Gulf Stream and favourable trade winds. Playa Blanca (where most of our villas are located) is recognised as the ideal location for those wishing to soak up the sun at any time of the year, but at the same time enjoy the benefits of peace and tranquility.

The development of Lanzarote as a holiday island has been influenced greatly by Cesar Manrique an artist and architect who was able to influence its development through an understanding of the need and benefits of tourism, but also a need for conservation of the islands natural beauty. As a result, Manrique created a number of attractive places for visitors to enjoy, with the preservation of the landscape in mind. You can see these throughout the island including: Mirador Rio in the North where you can admire a spectacular view across to the island of La Graciosa; the beautiful Cactus Garden with restored windmill; and, perhaps most stunning of all, the house Manrique designed and built as his home, in lava bubbles in the midst of the volcanic landscape.

Other spectacular natural sights include: the Timanfaya National Park, where you can take a guided tour of the moonscape and volcanoes; the spectacular caves in the centre of the island Jameos del Agua and La Cueva de los Verdes; the stunning green lagoon at El Golfo; and the beautiful, but strange, wine region of La Geria.

There is also a wide choice of excellent restaurants dotted all over the island, where seafood, cheese, canarian potatoes and peppers Padron are specialities.

Playa Blanca is a beautiful fishing village in the South of Lanzarote, with pretty whitewashed houses and shops along a pedestrianised road where you can shop for attractive gifts, clothes and food. The views from Playa Blanca are always stunning, over the sparkling blue sea to the island of Fuerteventura, or across to the beaches at Papagayo. There are no high-rise buildings and the atmosphere is warm, friendly and family oriented.

There is a choice of three golden, sandy beaches to walk to, as well as the superb and more remote Papagayo beaches a short drive away. The village has a variety of excellent restaurants, a few bars, some supermarkets, shops and banks.

The little harbour at Playa Blanca not only acts as host to visiting yachtsmen and the local fishermen, but is also the main terminal for the frequent, daily ferry service to the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura.

We provide a detailed map with guide to the island when you book a car with us and would recommend car hire to visit the places described particularly if you are a first-time visitor to Lanzarote

We either own the villas we let, or rent on behalf of other private owners. We pay regular visits each year to ensure the villas are maintained and equipped to a very high standard. We also provide a complimentary food pack on arrival.

Lanzarote is around three and a half hours direct flying time from most of the major airports in the UK. There are a few flights on odd days during the week, but our villas are mainly let from Thursday to Thursday.

For our Lanzarote holidays, we can provide a fully comprehensive, but extremely competitive, package including the cost of accommodation, daytime flights, travel insurance and car hire.
